A Dozen White Roses - Alecia Nugent

作词：Carl Jackson/Larry Alderman

作曲：Carl Jackson/Larry Alderman

I heard his time was short

So I went to see my old friend

When I walked through the door

He said sure good to see you again

Sit down here by me the Doc says

My future ain't bright

But even if I don't beat it

There's a part of my past that won't die

He points to a picture

And smiles from his easy chair

As he relives the moment says girl

That was heaven right there

You can see his heart's broken

As a lonesome tear drop to the floor

And along with the silence that filled

Came a knock at the door

A bouquet wrapped up

In ribbons and bows

Too little too late I suppose

But he clings to the last ray of hope

And a dozen white roses

They were meant for each other

That was clear right from the start

What a shame too much pride

And a jealous heart kept them apart

No card and some flowers

It's quite enough to make amends

For fifty years living a life

Of what should have been

A bouquet wrapped up

In ribbons and bows

Too little too late I suppose

But he clings to the last ray of hope

And a dozen white roses

A bouquet wrapped up

In ribbons and bows

Too little too late I suppose

But he clings to the last ray of hope

And a dozen white roses
